Bob: A 500 or 600 Series CASE is a pretty big machine, probably weighing 6,000 lbs or more. The smaller 300 and 400 series weigh respectively ~ 3,500 to 4,500 lbs. Can be trailered on a 6,000 lb trailer and pulled with a good 3/4 ton pickup.
So if it looks like you need a dump truck to pull the thing, you probably do have a 500 or 600 series. They were, and still are, pretty popular with the small time excavation contractors. Your local CASE/IH dealer should be able to help you identify it. Oftentimes they will let you look through their old service manuals because they know you will be back purchasing parts. Good luck and let us know what you find. Jeff King.
